Using Blendercam from github is a great way to try out the newest features and fixes. The latest build (dailybuild) of Blender can be used with the latest Master branch of Blendercam and then you can live on the bleeding edge.
The easiest way to install is not to install but tell Blender where to find the plugin. This way you don't have to worry about copying/moving files around. You can keep Blendercam source files separate from Blender if using source control ie git for developement and still easily test your changes in Blender.

* The first step is to get the source code from the github repository.
* Make a directory where blendercam from github will reside
* At the command prompt change into the directory where blendercam will be and then type:
* `git clone https://github.com/vilemnovak/blendercam.git`
* ![git clone](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/648108/12068782/8942a84a-afeb-11e5-86c4-31a60475fd27.png)
* git will make a directory called blendercam in the current directory and then download the most recent version of blendercam on github.
* The second step is to tell blender to also search an alternate path for addons. When blender starts up it will search its own paths for add-ons and will also search the alternate path that you add.
